For ages tea has been the national drink of China, but It is giving way in all the cities where American con- densed milk is on sale, the student and the lowliest workman alike choosing the milk and using it mixed with warm water. The water buffaloes in many districts of that country would supply the natural milk in abundance if the people cared to give it their attention, but that appears to have quite escaped their attention, but the gayly-colored label on the can of condensed milk is attractive and the American prod- uct s growing rapidly in popularity. - Small Average. ¥rom London Answers.
